WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:11.280
this case apart and put it back together oh boy wow that was scary okay guys I

00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:14.599
have a treat for you today it

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.320
is much anticipated for me at least the1

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:22.480
air mini this is Leon Le's mesh case

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:26.119
that fits an ATX form factor motherboard

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.080
but it's small still and uh I'm really

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:34.600
excited Let's uh let's get it open now what I'm excited for with this

00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:37.680
case is the modularity so you can take

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.440
this case and it'll fit an ATX it'll fit

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:44.520
an ITX it'll fit matx and it says it even fits eatx but I

00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:50.280
don't really believe it so we'll have to find out there but uh let's I hate

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:50.280
getting cases out of

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.600
boxes wow look at all that mesh oh what

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:04.960
do we have here a little goody radiator off mounting bracket ah yes so these are

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:10.640
so we can put in the as long of a rad as we can fit I think it's 240 mil Max in

00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:16.119
this thing got a nice big thick I think it's 3

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:20.720
mm uh glass panel and we have mesh on

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:22.920
four sides front top back the right side

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.560
and on the bottom we don't have mesh but we do have a fan

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.600
filter this has a rather large chungus

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.040
to pull it out but it work works well

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:36.720
enough we have a 120 mm fan in the back

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:41.960
and that's pwm and up front kind of hard to see cuz it's mesh but can you see

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:45.079
that we got two 140s up front uh right

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:48.240
now it's in the S IO slot configuration

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:50.360
you can make this uh five slots and that

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:53.920
will move the motherboard slot down and that gives you a little bit of extra

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:58.280
radiator clearance up in the top cuz you are a little limited just I think it's

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.640
25 mm top spacing Max so you'd have to run a thin red if you wanted to run

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:06.039
something up here with an ATX motherboard uh we do have support for a

00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:08.840
full ATX power supply in here which is super nice especially when you start

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:14.319
getting into a higher wattages things get a little bit expensive

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:18.840
um let's uh let's open it up and take a look

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.400
inside these absolute chungus thumb

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.400
screws which ones do I even do there's so many of them okay that one's top for

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:31.080
sure uh there is no filter so Leon Lee claims that this mesh is fine enough to

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:36.720
keep dust out uh I have my doubts but it is pretty fine but at the same time that

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.599
will affect airf flow so time will tell

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:42.959
and that's something I can't unfortunately do for you on short

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:47.120
circuit uh okay where are we here does it slide ah okay once you get the top

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:54.040
off this just slides out there's two little retention pegs that slot into

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.519
these slots here we got the two 140 Ms

00:02:54.040 --> 00:03:00.599
that's nice to see it's you know this case is I think $100 um for the black

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.440
and 110 for the white and that's not a small amount of money

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.760
but the fact that it comes with fans like that's what 30 40 bucks there so

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:16.319
that's nice and they match which is which is nice we've got oh derau hello

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.680
so when it says derau you know they take a little bit of consideration into

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:24.080
cooling which is nice given all all the

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.720
fans and uh we have this is really

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.519
interesting and we're going to test this you can fit four hard drives in here

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:36.519
apparently and two ssds that is a lot of storage we have the io

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.519
comes down in the back comes up through these two ports these don't have any

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.640
grommets but these do which is nice okay uh why don't we try starting to fit some

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:47.239
stuff in let's start with the uh power supply I got a big old bin of Parts here

00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:52.519
I know there is a length limitation I think it's 200 mm on this case so we're

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.920
going to hope this fits I have hopes and

00:03:52.519 --> 00:04:03.799
dreams I mean anything that comes in a velvet

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:05.439
bag uh fan side uh-oh uh-oh will she

00:04:03.799 --> 00:04:12.200
go no oh no no she'll she'll go she'll go

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:12.200
no like like it's in

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:18.600
there oh jeez why that's a Phillips come

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:27.199
on okay well it's it's barely in there see

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:27.199
if I can get it to actually fully

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:34.320
seat like that okay so the little little elevation down there for airf flow

00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:36.240
that's kind of nice ah okay so this is

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:40.880
the hard drive accessories and this is the blockoff plate so if you want to

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:42.600
make in an matx or smaller case you put

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:47.120
this guy up at the top here and every one of

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:53.039
these panels moves down and you remove these bottom two panels I think you're

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:54.520
pushing it with that that no the okay

00:04:53.039 --> 00:05:05.160
here's why I grabb that KN to Fan it's just not just because I'm wearing the shirt today they claim it holds a 290

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.199
mm uh Tower cooler and the D15 is 285 mm

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:10.520
so if it fits I'll be very happy you know air

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.199
cooling is the way to go I'm just putting out there water cooling yeah

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:19.199
it's cool and all you got liquids running around and looks all pretty but

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:24.600
air cooling got a nice big hole cut out in the back so I can kind of avoid h no

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:30.400
I should probably put the plate on cuz there seems to be that hard drive sled in the way so we'll pull out the d115

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:36.720
while we're at it amount of times I've pulled d15s out of boxes here is too

00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:39.520
damn High come on get in your

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:47.479
hole good dog I don't know it is right up against

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:49.319
that fan there oh yeah no she goes

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:54.400
uhhuh I don't even know what I was worried about and I could see it fitting

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.360
eatx you know a little bit further up but you wouldn't be holding anything on

00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:01.240
here not we're not doing no no no no we're just we're just

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:05.120
testing compatibility here it's all the all we got time for yeah if you want to

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.800
see a whole build of this case you're going to have to bug lonus you know hit

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:15.120
him right at Twitter just be like yo I want to see this case looks so cool

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:17.280
build something in it usually mounted this

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:25.199
way so you want to put it so that the slots in the tower cooler give you

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:30.639
clearance for your RAM which while I'm here I might as well put in

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:35.280
uh when you get to PL Cy man you just get to go grab

00:06:33.479 --> 00:06:39.800
whatever you feel and I grab some Trident Z Neo 3600 MHz around cuz I

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:44.680
thought it looked cool right now I'm pushing the uh the the mounting plate

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.720
back up through the hole so I can get the thumb studs on or the thumb nuts on

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.960
didn't ever say PC Building was glamorous sometimes you just got to give a PC a good

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:59.199
hug we don't need to put in fans or anything there plenty of RAM clearance

00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.960
cuz it's a D15 who am I kidding oh man I

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:06.960
asked for a GPU jonno not a brick well it is literally it's a dummy

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.000
GPU so it is a brick but holy moly this is

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:15.759
huge I guess there's no better test than to I feel bad for the pciu

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:24.599
slot there's maybe an inch of

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:27.520
clearance oh boy yeah no we're we're

00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:32.240
going to have to go down a slot CU that's right there good get a little bit

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:36.319
of air flow the other option is they do make a

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:43.160
right angle kit so you can just turn this whole plate sideways we don't have

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.960
one but uh that guy ain't fitting either

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.840
okay if you had a normal person graphics card you could probably pull that off

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:57.039
but we do not we've got a GPU in here and it is large and in

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.039
charge oh boy that got way

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:04.599
heavier I mean it went in without aair and that is about as big as you're ever

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:10.560
going to want to fit in a case like this and uh yeah I'm kind of impressed it fit

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:14.280
that's why CH it well yeah yeah it was a good call jonno at the end of the day

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:20.919
good call I didn't even talk about the io how did I forget that okay up front

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:29.000
super nice to see we have USBC up front critical in these

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.479
times two USB 3.0 power button and a

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:36.599
combo USB headphone jack kind of wish they had separate Jacks it's just nice

00:08:33.959 --> 00:08:42.479
but you know Beggars can't be choosers sorry yes combo headphone mic

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:44.800
Jack and uh yeah Power this is

00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:48.800
illuminated oh hard drives we're going to try and fit four hard drives and two

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:55.440
ssds in the back a we'll do that and then I think uh we we'll we'll bring her

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:58.240
home okay I found the oldest hard drives

00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:04.800
in the LT inventory uh this one I believe is item

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:08.399
number 18 in the inventory

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:10.360
system yeah b0016 this is the 16th item

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:13.680
we ever inventoried I'm not going to get too crazy and actually bow them all in

00:09:12.079 --> 00:09:20.959
cuz that sounds timec consuming but you know more or less two

00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:24.160
there wait there's more then we have

00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:27.399
this sled over here these guys go on

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:27.399
this bracket that we pulled

00:09:27.959 --> 00:09:35.640
off like that's just just nice one Fastener you have one that goes there

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:41.839
one that would go on the underside under there I mean yeah it'll fit all of these

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:48.200
things it's going to weigh a ton but it'll fit it it'll fit four hard drives

00:09:44.839 --> 00:09:50.399
two ssds and whatever graphics cards you

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.760
can throw at it and anything ATX and smaller I mean this is a great option

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:58.800
for someone who wants this aesthetic this form factor I'm just talking from a

00:09:57.040 --> 00:10:03.680
hey I took this case apart and put it back together oh

00:10:00.680 --> 00:10:03.680
boy

00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:11.959
wow what is even holding it in still minus one

00:10:08.920 --> 00:10:14.690
point sketchy glass retention and oh

00:10:11.959 --> 00:10:17.749
yeah just for you

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.600
guys

00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:29.800
static there we are this is a clearly

00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:32.399
well thought out case you know there are

00:10:29.800 --> 00:10:37.279
a lot of parts that if they didn't fit together perfectly here they wouldn't

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:40.440
work at all and uh it's impressive that

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:42.200
they do fit together and they like made

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:47.279
such a solid case out of the whole thing all in all you have dust filtration the

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:51.000
whole way around hopefully good breathability um something we can't

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.920
really test here but given all the mesh I can assume there's going to be a lot

00:10:52.200 --> 00:11:00.440
of air flow and uh the form factor is nice it's wider than a normal case but

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.560
Squat and small and cute and it's white

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:07.680
I'm going to say this is a good option if you're looking for something in this form factor I'd seriously consider

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:13.160
taking a look at this went together pretty well comes with fans Price is

00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:14.639
Right you know made by reputable makers

00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:19.240
well that's it for our first look at the1 air if uh you like our case videos

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:23.800
why don't you look at Alex's meshify case video and of course get subscribed
